And some people can't understand why others might want to lash out and hurt those who have caused so much pain. Some people have the luxury of looking at this in a detached and academic sort of way.

Others have experience.

I only said it once.

Stop with your moral high horse BS. You're not above anything.

Now you're personally attacking me, maybe the MODS should delete this thread all together. With all the violence promotion and off topic discussion.

I'm sorry my stance of rehab over bullets doesn't meet your morality requirements

The only downside to this, if you can call it that, is something that another person brought up in the other thread.

Which is, that maybe they should have just turned all these sites into the police. The way anon went about it, all these creeps are still out and on the loose, capable of hurting children...

But that might not be so had they just turned over their discovery to the cops...

But at the same time, I am glad to see anon do something.... I mean, actually do something... I was getting sick of them just pretending to be a group that mattered, as they did a DDOS attack to inconvenience a website for an hour, every now and then...

So, good for anon.... I just wish they could have gotten more than usernames.... I don't guess much can be done with that...But at least they shut down the sites....

Only thing is, with these loser pedophiles out there, they will just create more sites.....

maybe this will be enough for authorities to track them down? Well... I doubt it, but one can hope.

It truly is a luxury. This OZ fella needs to talk to some people who have experienced such horrors. At the very least to understand where we are coming from.

These sickos do NOT deserve to roam free. They do NOT deserve our sympathy. And they do NOT deserve to be defended for their actions.

Sorry man, i am going to go cool off my head for a while. I'll catch you later, man.

I'm not sure the authorities have anymore resources than anon in order to capture these people.

The fact is, the way these people operate makes them almost impossible to find. I'm sure there are a few weak links in the bunch, but these sites are typically accessed via multiple encrypted nodes, and splitting packets among them. A Trace route wouldn't be enough to find them. You'd wind up with more dead ends than with hits.

But having user names helps. Because then you can track their activity across many sites.

Well, I admit, I would not know. I am what you might call " Tech-tarded".

Something I find, almost laughable... Well, that is not the right word.... It's just... anon did what the authorities either would not or could not do. Doesn't the FBI look for people like this on occasion who can help find such sites and capture the people involved in running them?

If so maybe they ought to make a job offer to anon...

But yeah, good on anon.... usually I roll my eyes when I see a thread about them going after a website... But this one... Good for them.

But have we not seen this all before were everyone on the internet is selling drugs, are convicted terrorists and up to no good.

How do i know this leak is not from the goverment who slips my name in with the perverts because I called out scum sucking Bush and if you look how they are trying to degrade Gaddaffi then you will know these people will stop at nothing.

I've lost a lot of freedom because the state says terrorists are running all around the country and they are trying the same with the internet to stop social groups protesting.

Problom-Reaction-Solution and i'm not buying it.

Likewise.

The FBI usually only scratches the surface. And while they may have only a cursory awareness of these kinds of web services(darkweb/darknet) they simply don't have the understanding of it's sophistication.

Many of these servers are located in places that don't adhere to US law and simply aren't accountable. And since you need to break the encryption in order to know what is on it, the only thing the Feds can really do is wait for something like this to happen, or wait for someone to get careless.

The FBI got lucky on this one.

No where have I said they deserve to roam free, no where have I said they need sympathy. My point is to kill viewers of child porn isn't the right way to go about it. Especially when most of them are young males confused about their hormones or why they are attracted to young girls. Internet porn is designed to entrap the vulnerable. Get them hooked and so on. Same with CP. Actual child molesters need jail time lots of it. Viewers of CP can do with a second chance and rehab. bullets and violence don't fix anything. No matter what they have done.

I think we've established this.


But instead of acknowledging that people have instinctive reactions to this, you go on the attack.

And you don't seem to understand why other might have a problem with that.

What is being talked about here is a layer of the internet 99% of people have no idea exists.

Don't worry, your ability to make inflammatory remarks about Bush is not being compromised because of what happened here.

And that to me presents a big problem. See, I am the last one to even advocate for censorship and government regulation on the internet but here I am, wondering how else to stop such people and such sites....

Some how though, it is surprising to me to think the FBI, is having one put over on them by a bunch of creeps and pedophiles... How is it that they are able to do that? I just keep asking... How are they able to put one over on the FBI time and again?

I don't know the answer...I certainly wish there was a permanent solution to this stuff... But I fear there is not... and that... bothers me.

I am one of those 99%. Some how, it leaves me... almost speechless... I am not quite sure what to say... I mean, I knew there were such sites out there... I just had no idea... they were so " Advanced" for lack of a better word....

I knew it was a problem... But did not quite realize it was a problem of this magnitude... One that, is damn near impossible to really do much about....

At first, when you said you want to take your AR15 and go hunting... I was thinking... Damn... that is a bit... violent... But now... Hey, I am right there with you...

Anyway, I better get to bed. It is late. Well, I am an insomniac. So I may be back on. meh.

We will see.... Great thread, buddy.

Well, be prepared to see more and more of this kind of stuff.

After the Soviet Union collapsed the child porn, child trafficking, and child prostitution rings saw massive boosts because during bad times, moral behavior goes out the window, and immoral activities become profitable. American and European pedos have just found a way to better cover their tracks.

The game is still the same, however, and it is no less dangerous.

I think a lot of people don't realize just how advanced it really is.

The level of encryption, the sophistication of their server security(DDoS attacks are brute force hacks and don't require much sophistication), and the complexity of their networks would surprise even a seasoned veteran of IT and programming circles.

It truly is a different world.

Yeah a sick sick world and these people seem to do anything to protect themselves and feed their habit.

Man it makes me angry.

You think we established this?? Really....

What a surprise a US soldier whose first instinct is to sort it out with a gun. I acknowledge that, but I thought you said you didn't really mean it, and that you would notify authorities first and not resort to violence. I understand and have said that CP is a nasty discussion no one wants to have, I am fully aware of people's reaction feelings and thoughts, so don't try make me out to be an idiot. Just because I don't agree with guns fixing the issue. No attack here just constructive criticism.

At the end of the day, anonymous haven't done anything special here, FBI has been aware of pedo .onion sites since 2008 and a quick google search proves that. The US navy first designed the TOR network and I am sure you can see why some of us think this is just anonymous propaganda. plus the site hasn't been shut down the servers are just being disrupted. if you read the pastebins you will see that the owner of the site is still going to operate and is paying big bucks to keep anonymous out.

Maybe you should become a cyber cop, seeing as you have this much passion for justice and that's a light-hearted joke.

Peace I am done with your duplicated thread.

Exactly, and it just goes to show. These people have no shame... No morals... How could they?

A normla person would never look at a cute girl or guy and think" How can I rape them and get away with it".

But these pedos.... That seems to be the case. They see children and look at child porn and they don't seem to even care that they are hurting kids... All they care about is protecting themselves...

It is simply disgusting and even enraging...

I don't get angry, often...But anger... that is what I feel, thinking about what these people ( And I use the world people, loosely) are doing and are able to get away with...

It makes me angry.... and I have a few choice words for these creeps...But the T&C prevents me from saying them, so just use your imagination and you can probably take a good guess at the words going through my head.

Alright. Off to bed for real, this time.... Good night everyone.
